Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to examine parental perspectives on reward and punishment practices in the educational process. This study has been designed using a phenomenological approach, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consists of 27 parents residing in various rural and urban areas of Samsun, whose children attend different types of schools during the 2022-2023 academic year. The study group was selected using the maximum variation sampling technique, which is one of the purposive sampling methods. Semi-structured interview technique was utilized for data collection purposes. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive analysis technique. According to the research, 8 themes were identified through data analysis. Rural and urban parents hold both positive and negative views regarding reward and punishment practices. In terms of the impact of reward practices on student behavior, rural parents express positive views, while urban parents express both positive and negative views. Similarly, both rural and urban parents express both positive and negative views regarding the impact of punishment practices on student behavior. Regarding the effect of reward practices on students academic achievement, rural parents generally view reward practices positively, whereas urban parents have mixed opinions. Likewise, both rural and urban parents have mixed opinions regarding the effect of punishment practices on students academic achievement. While rural parents hold both positive and negative views regarding the adages Eti senin kemiği benim literal translation: The meat is yours, but the bone is mine and Öğretmenin vurduğu yerde gül biter literal translation: Where the teacher hits, a rose blooms, urban parents hold entirely negative views. In the scope of the research, reward and punishment practices should be avoided due to their negative effects, and alternative approaches should be developed to motivate, incentivize, and promote desired behavior change in students.

Elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Veri analizi doğrultusunda 8 tema tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmaya göre kırsaldaki ve kentteki veliler ödül ve cezaya yönelik olumlu ve olumsuz görüşlere sahiptirler. Ödülün öğrenci davranışlarına etkisi konusunda kırsaldaki veliler olumlu görüşler belirtirken, kentteki veliler hem olumlu hem olumsuz görüş belirtmişlerdir. Cezanın öğrenci davranışına etkisi konusunda hem kırsaldaki hem de kentteki veliler olumlu ve olumsuz görüş belirtmişlerdir. Ödülün öğrencinin akademik başarısına yönelik kırsaldaki veliler genellikle ödülü olumlu bulurken, kentteki veliler hem olumlu hem olumsuz bulmuşlardır. Cezanın öğrencinin akademik başarısına etkisi konusunda hem kırsaldaki hem kentteki veliler olumlu ve olumsuz görüştedirler. Eti senin kemiği benim ve Öğretmenin vurduğu yerde gül biter anlayışına yönelik kırsaldaki veliler olumlu ve olumsuz görüşe sahipken, kentteki veliler tamamen olumsuz görüşe sahiptirler. Araştırma kapsamında olumsuz etkilerinden dolayı ödül ve ceza uygulamalarından uzak durmak, öğrenciyi teşvik etmek, güdülemek, istenen davranış değişikliğine gitmek için alternatif uygulamalar kullanmak şeklinde öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
